In this exhibition profile, Afu takes us through the personal and reflective journey behind Nafs. Over the course of three years, he explored the deep connections between art and mental well-being. Through paintings, sculptures, and collaborations with mental health professionals, Afu presents a body of work that invites conversation, encourages awareness, and challenges societal perceptions surrounding mental health.

I interviewed him as he created sculptures and prepared to build his installation piece in his little studio and documented his creative process in the run up to the exhibition.

This profile offers insight into his thought process, creative practices, and the emotional depth that shaped each piece in the exhibition.
